Croatian violinist Bojan \u010ci\u010di\u0107 performs the opening of Bach’s Violin Partita No. 3 in E Major recorded in Crichton Collegiate Church.<\/p>\n

From his 2023 album on Delphian Records, Bach’s complete Partitas and Sonatas performed on Baroque violin: “an album that splendidly showcases Bach’s special pleasure: music that engages both heart and head, and leaves us humbled, disarmed and uplifted”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
